need to find something?

. . .

Hello! Welcome to my blog. My name is Marianne and I live in Melbourne with my husband and our very fluffy cat, Babycat. (Who, at 7 years old, is hardly a kitten anymore but she will always be our baby!) I grew up in London and moved to Melbourne aged 22 for adventure and for love, which turned out to be a great idea as we are now happily married. I love vintage, especially the 1930s to the 1950s, and can skip happily over some of the 1960s to enjoy lots of that beautiful and otherworldly 1970s stuff. Here I write about my life in Melbourne and the things that interest me: clothes (especially of the vintage kind), beauty, makeup, food, interiors, travel, books, films (old ones please), going out, staying home, cocktails in bars, dinners in restaurants, breakfasts in cafes, walking in parks, biking down backstreets, taking photographs in conspicuous places, drinking coffee in bed, my endless love of platform shoes, and sometimes cats, too.

I'm on the youtubes!

first wear, black and gold shoes

Last Friday night I wore my new crazy black and gold shoes for the first time. They are absolutely NOT for walking in, at least not for very far, but I love them all the same. I like that they are so different to my usual massive platforms, but then again they remind me of the smaller platforms Rita Hayworth wears in Gilda. They're from topshop, by the way! Can you see where I whack my ankle bones with my flat brogues?! Of all the shoes I have that end up being dangerous..! Oh and that other mark is my first mozzy bite of the season. They get me proper. Anyway, I wore these with a black 1940s dress to dinner – and I have a post abut it all soon! x
